Broward County’s Port Everglades welcomes the return of Crystal Cruises‘ luxury ships beginning in October 2017.
“Fort Lauderdale is an ideal fit for our ships, itineraries and discerning guests, with its close proximity to an international airport and reputation for outstanding service that mirrors Crystal’s own,” said Crystal President and CEO Edie Rodriguez. “With these things in mind, we are relocating select fall sailings and look forward to working with Port Everglades to expand our itineraries in this market.”
Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony will sail a total of eight sailings to and from Port Everglades beginning October 27, 2017.
“We are already working with Crystal Cruises’ outstanding team to ensure every sailing from Port Everglades is exceptional,” said Port Everglades Chief Executive & Port Director Steven Cernak. Crystal Cruises last sailed from Port Everglades in 2006.
